    So I had Dish installed yesterday :(

    Everything went fine, the installer finished a little before noon, and I went off to work. I was watching TV on my joey (small, slave receiver) last evening about 8 PM, and saw a message that I had a remote software update and could cancel it by pressing any key. I pressed any number of keys...

    DirecTV wouldn't take my cancellation for an order

    So I was a DirecTV customer from Sept 1995 to Nov 30, 2015. I had Dish installed that afternoon and called DirecTV to cancel my programming that night. I was told that boxes would be here for my equipment in two weeks or so, I would be missed as a valued customer, etc. The boxes never came, and...

    MLB Extra Innings on Dish?

    I've been considering switching to Dish for a few years now. One of the things keeping me with DirecTV is MLB EI. I remember Dish dropping it years ago (after 2006 maybe?). There is nothing about it at dish.com, and I can't find anything to lead me to believe that Dish has it except that all...

    Finally got an AM21

    I gave DirecTV my sister's address in Houston many years ago. At the time, nothing in my market had gone HD except for a special all-HD PBS channel. I've kept the Houston locals as my wife grew up there and has watched KTRK news most of her life. I have an hr21 receiver connected to my...

    Dish Pricing Question

    I am a long time DirecTV customer who is seriously considering switching to Dish. I feel like I can save money with Dish. I am somewhat confused by their packaging though. The package that I am interested in is America's Top 200. Where I get confused is near the bottom of their page where...

    ESPN SportsCenter from Nolans 6th NoNo

    I've been digitizing old VHS tapes and came across a SportsCenter from June 1990, the night of Nolan Ryan's 6th no hitter. I've uploaded it along with a couple of out of print Houston baseball videos and a September 1984 "Marv Albert Achievement Awards" from Late Night with David Letterman to...

    I've lost a small number of channels?!?

    I've noticed over the past few weeks that occasionally I'll turn to a channel and get a '771' no signal strength error. Today was the first time that it's happened on something that I wanted to watch, a match on Fox Soccer Channel. BTW, there wasn't a cloud in the sky when it happened. To...

    UT-A&M rivalry came to an end once before - Houston Chronicle AND A great read not only about the rivalry, but a look into why there were a lot of people who wanted football outlawed back in the day. Oh, and the line "a dilly of a donnybrook" made me realize that Keith Jackson was already...

    Astros to the AL?!?

    I've been so caught up in NCAA conference realignment that I missed Peter Gammon's tweet that the Astros sale was done and we would be moving to the AL. What complete BS! Selig moves his old team from the AL to the NL and then decides that MLB needs 15/15 balance. Then he waits for the Astros...
